Tree Mapping + Circumference Protocol

What is involved?

This involves identifying, measuring and mapping mature trees. The data will be collated into a map – linked spreadsheet that can be used to analyse species distribution across the entire mountain.

Why collect this data?

The data collected allows comparisons of tree species and stages of development across the mountain. Different climate aspects at each plot (such as altitude, sunlight hours, average temperatures) will affect how the trees develop.
